Rohinni's Twitter statement on what this company is all about is quite simple: We print light. Print light? This Coeur d'Alene, Idaho-based company is introducing its Lightpaper, with a promotional video which is asking the always-engaging "what if" question; in this instance, what if you had the ability to print light? In doing so, it would be "empowering you to create and innovate with light, in ways that were never before possible." Rohinni is introducing the world's thinnest LED lighting, according to the company, with an approach where one can apply it to nearly any surface, in any shape and for any situation.

Popular Science described Lightpaper as "a paper-thin light-emitting square. When a charge is sent through it, it glows like a gleaming portal." Last month, in CDAPress (The Coeur d' Alene Press), Nick Smoot, chief marketing officer, said the best way to describe Lightpaper was that it is "a mix of LEDs and ink. Using a proprietary process, that solution is printed on a substrate." He also stressed in that encounter that its application potential was endless, Smoot said they were thinking about printing lamp shadesthe lamps would not need light bulbs. "Anywhere there is a light, this could replace that." He also said that eventually people will be able to print their own at home. "You will be able to design and print you own light," he said. "Right now we are printing the light, but we are going to be putting that back in the hands of the people."

Applications in mind? While their answer is "endless markets," limited only by the imagination, they give illustrated examples on their website. The technology could be illuminating logos on products, such as mobile phones, installing lighting on your wall, or a wearable wristband flashing the time and message notifications.

"With Lightpaper it's more of a platform of light that we don't even know how it's going to be used," said Smoot in Fast Company. "All we know is that we're trying to unlock the ability to create light."

Tyler Hayes in Fast Company wrote about their mixing ink and tiny LEDs together and printing them out on a conductive layer. "That object is then sandwiched between two other layers and sealed," he said. "The tiny diodes are about the size of a red blood cell, and randomly dispersed on the material. When current runs through the diodes, they light up." Smoot did not identify the companies by name, but said a few companies were already working on Lightpaper implementations, according to Hayes. Fast Company said that Lightpaper may be seen "in the wild" around the middle of next year. Before that, they are to work on a second version of Lightpaper, which Hayes said was likely a few months out. The challenge being worked on is to get specific placement of the diodes, to produce completely even light.

Philips, in discussing light emitting diodes (LEDs), said that "Once relegated to humble indicator lights in electronic devices," LED lights have advanced, enabling a new category of lighting projected to reach $30 billion by 2025. Philips pointed out that the structure of the LED light is completely different than that of the light bulb. "Amazingly, the LED has a simple and strong structure. The beauty of the structure is that it is designed to be versatile, allowing for assembly into many different shapes." Philips added that "Today is an exciting time for those working closely with LED lighting systems, which allow completely new uses of light."

NEW YORK On Manhattans Far West Side, they built an elevated railroad in the 1930s because freight trains and pedestrians kept colliding down on 10th Avenue. The trains won.

On the High Line today, the locomotives are long gone, and the pedestrians have emerged the victors. Seven days a week, a shifting throng simultaneously observes and forms its own pageant. By 10 a.m., the early joggers, commuters and yoga students have melted away before the arrival of the walkers, heading up through Chelsea or down to the Meatpacking District. They stop like currents in an eddy for a while, or they find a grassy backwater, but mostly they go with the flow. The polyglot visitors find a trendy destination, the natives a transcendental sidewalk that stretches a mile and a half, now that the third and last segment opened this fall.

The path narrows to just a few feet for much of its course, yet almost 5 million visitors pass one another every year in relaxed good cheer. Just five years after opening, the High Line has become one of the top visitor attractions in New York more popular even than the Statue of Liberty and an emblem of the reversal in the historical decline of the American city in general and Gotham in particular.

It has become an archetype for cities everywhere craving their own High Line mojo. In Washington, it is the inspiration for a proposed elevated park where the old 11th Street Bridge crossed the Anacostia River and, separately, for a component in the long-range redevelopment of Union Station.

The reasons for its broad appeal are both tangible and elusive but reduce to this: The High Line serves up the Big Apple on a platter 30 feet high. Look eastward, and you can savor the view of Midtowns iconic skyscrapers. Look west, and the Hudson River lolls by, black and sparkling in the autumn light. The High Line takes you, voyeuristically, past the windows of high-rise offices and apartments and, increasingly, close to the swanky condos rising around it. You can look down to the bistros of the once-gritty Meatpacking District, or the leafy cross streets of West Chelsea, or the ribbons of silver commuter cars in the Hudson Rail Yards.

For all the attention-grabbing vistas, the focus eventually settles on the parks interior character. It is a runway where people go to see and to be seen, like a return to the 19th-century promenade synonymously a place and an act, where generations past put on their Sunday best and headed to the park, not to walk but to strut.

And while the High Line propels movement, that doesnt necessarily mean getting from here to there, said Chris Reed, a landscape architect who teaches at Harvards Graduate School of Design and who takes students to the High Line. The act of the promenade is something we lost in the 20th century, and a project like this allows us to focus on just that, the experience of movement.

The idea of reusing old transportation corridors is not new in Washington, the C&O Canal, and the Capital Crescent and W&OD trails, are obvious examples of such reincarnations. But the High Lines success has been so swift that its success appears in hindsight to have been preordained. This would be a misread.

From rail cars to wildflowers

After the last train squealed its way along the tracks in 1980, the High Line became just another peeling grave marker to old, working New York. In time, the rails took on a mantle of rust, and the rotting ties and track ballast turned into a growing medium for weeds. Some of the weeds took the form of pretty wildflowers goldenrod, milkweed and Queen Annes lace; some were thuggish trees and vines. Together, though, they imprinted the idea of vegetation turning the High Line into a garden, however feral, apart from the city.
